EXAMPLE
The Beatty sequence for sqrt(6) is A022840 = (0, 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14, 17,...), with difference sequence s = A276856 = (2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2,...). The sums s(j)+s(j+1)+...+s(k) include (2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10,12,...), with complement (1,6,11,16,21,...).
MATHEMATICA
z = 500; r = Sqrt[6]; b = Table[Floor[k*r], {k, 0, z}]; (* A022840 *)
t = Differences[b]; (* A276856 *)
c[k_, n_] := Sum[t[[i]], {i, n, n + k - 1}];
u[k_] := Union[Table[c[k, n], {n, 1, z - k + 1}]];
w = Flatten[Table[u[k], {k, 1, z}]]; Complement[Range[Max[w]], w]; (* A276872 *)
